fness-Prices on the Decline From the Opening to the Close.
 NEW YORK. March 30.
 The stock market was moderately active this morning The tone was weak and prices declined 1ka1 per cent by 12 o'clock The nest active stocks were Texas Pacific, Hooking Valley coal, New En- gland Reading and Western Union. These i've stocks furnished one half the whole forenoons busi- ness With the exception of Lackawanna there was little trading in either the trunk line or grang CT stocks. One of the causes attributed for the weakness of the market is the unsettled state of affairs among the trunk lines and the apprehen- sion that if the demands of the Grand Trunk are not complied with there will be farther cutting of east bound rates The trunk line representatives yesterday failed to reach an agreement and were in session again to-day. The sales of the morning amounted to 170,0o0 shares. The market was less active this afternoon. The tone continued weak and there was nothing in eonnection with the deal ings worthy of mention. The closing prices were generally to per cent lower than those of yes terday. The total sales were 3o9, eco shares. Money closed at per cent The nlgheSt raj 6 was and the lowest 51x per cent. Exchange closed steady. Posted rates 4.S61k0 ASS; actual rates 4.S43z@4S6 for sixty days and 4675404s71S for demand.

HACK ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS.

James Gilchrist and John Bracken were before Judge Pickett yesterday for violating the hack ordinance at the Union depot. They were discharged. It is we'll known fact that this ordinance is violated at the Union depot by the hackmen. Many of them are positively rude to travellers. They pay no more attention to the red chalk line inside of which they must stand than if the lines were in Halifax. The vociferous hack men claim that intense business competition is the cause of the trouble.

oBEAH POISONING.
n Superstition Which Flourishcs in
All ofthc West Indian Islands.

"Obcall is the dread of nine negroes
out Of every ten in the West Indics.n
said the Trinidad gentleman, whom,
for the sake Of convenience, 1 Shall
call MI. Smith. cit is q nuisance to
them and to the whites, but all the ef-
forts Of the various governments to
crush 1t out have been u~nayailing. 1t
has as many believers now as ever, not
withstanding the education Of many Of
the blacks, and wherever there is Ii
conflict between the two races it is still
dangerous. | can not tell you the de-
riyation of the word. Obcah (Which
rs you must have noticed, is always
pronounced 'oby') is not an imaginary
being or tangible thing, but simply the
name OF tho wrctchcd system Of Jug
Cling and poisoning. Certain men
among the negroes set up for 'Obcah
men,, and profess to DO able to do mar
Vicious things. I suppose there arc Ave
hundred 'Obcah mem OH this island. to
whom tho other colorcd people 90 for
assistance and advice. They have to
pay for this assistance, SO tile conclu-
sion is inevitable that the Obeah men
go into it as q matter Of business, see
Ing a way to make All easy living out of
the superstition Of their coNrades. They
are naturally shrcwd fellows, who know
how to give some m~prcssivencss and
plausibility to their nonsense. There Is
something like a system in tho sObeah
worship but it has SO many variations
that 1t is difficult to trace. It is sub
stantially the samo in all the islands.
with such differences as each performer
chooses to invent, III every island, for
instance, three white cocks heads are
used to bring trouble to an enemy.
There Is no variation in that. Though
thore Is a great deal Of the Obeah BUSH
ness In Trinidad, this island is by no
